Hello you gang,
Please forgive me necromancing this thread. I think I know quite a few of you from other boards - hope this is not unwelcome here.
Last year I setup shop to do vapor blasting and cycle restorations. Have a bunch of very happy customers by now, and I serve people all over the country that ship in their parts for restoration. I'll post a few photos of the shop and the work and say "Please be in touch" if you want to learn more. Services are priced by the hour at $70 per, and normal turnaround it 48 hours or so. Happy to send prepaid shipping labels too, which makes the shipping process pretty painless, and affordable.

And now with no further ado, some vapor blast porn:
Interceptor carbs - these take about 90 minutes in total, including ultrasonic cleaning, net $105 plus return shipping.
O & A Rearsets - these were about an hour (minimum billing), net $70:
H2 cases - 2 stroke cases have a fraction of the oil passages that 4-stroke cases have, a bit faster to do - about 2 hours, net $140:
CB750 cases - lots of passages to plug and rinse, these take 3-4 hours depending on condition, net $210 - $280:
Harley heads - Air cooled bikes are a ball, these were pretty rough, and have a lot of fins to work through. 2 hours for the pair, net $140:
BMW hubs - Like the Harley heads, there's a fair amount of ferrous metal in these, we use anticorrosion additives to prevent flash rust. The pair of hubs was about 2 hours, net $140 :
Miata intake - this one arrived spotless and previously bead-blasted, and so was quicker than it might have been. This was a minimum-billing project as a result ($70), but something similar that hadn't been prepped like this is probably closer to 2 hours typically:
Thanks for checking it out and be in touch if I can be of service.
